Slick tempo with Watashi Matsuwa to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. STRAIGHT TALKER (12) finished fifth over 1600m at Tokyo at his most recent appearance on November 2. Has raced here at this trip three times for two wins. Good fresh performer looks a strong winning chance. ONE MORE SMILE (9) is having his first run since November 2. Goes well when fresh with a win and two placings from four starts. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. MATENRO BRAVO (16) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1600m at Chukyo. Fair record at this trip with a win and one placings. One of the main contenders. DANON MISSION (8) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Sapporo. Makes plenty of appeal.
